Meteorite Auction Tucson Gem and Mineral Show 2007, R.A. Langheinrich Meteorites
METEORITE AUCTION AT THE TUCSON GEM AND MINERAL SHOW 2007
Founded by prominent collector Allan Lang in 1971, the R.A. Langheinrich Meteorite Collection is one of the
foremost private collections in the world. Comprising hundreds of witnessed falls; unique historic documented
meteorites — many with original museum numbers and specimen cards; large irons with unusual character;
and lunar and planetary material, the collection is internationally recognized as an important reference and
research resource. Many specimens were acquired by the collection through institutional trades with the
world's major museums.
Much of of the Langheinrich Meteorite Collection is viewable online in the R.A. Langheinrich Museum of
Meteorites, and private viewings can be arranged by appointment. Occasionally, specimens from the collection
are made available for sale to private collectors and institutions. The specimens shown below will be offered
at auction on Saturday, February 3, 2007 during the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show.
